Medicate
Embracing Pain: A Journey of Resilience and Defiance
Lyrics
They told me to medicate
Expressing advice or pressure to use medication.
Take your pills and eradicate
Encouragement to take prescribed pills to eliminate something.
Any trace that you can feel
Eliminate any emotional or sensory perception.
Yeh they told me to medicate
Reiteration of the instruction to medicate.
Take your pills and eradicate
Repeat of the idea to take pills and eliminate feeling.
Any trace that you can feel, any trace that you feel
Emphasis on eradicating any emotional experience.
Sometimes I fall on hard ground
Describing challenging situations and questioning the purpose of trying.
And can be even harder when I wonder why I bother
Highlighting the difficulty of persevering in tough circumstances.
And it feels like the road is getting longer
Feeling overwhelmed, perceiving the journey as increasingly difficult.
Sometimes I fail to realise
Acknowledging occasional failure to recognize genuine pain.
That this pain is real, it's here
Affirming the reality of emotional pain.
To make me feel, something
Recognizing pain as a means to experience and feel alive.
Like I'm alive and not just breathing, it's the feeling
Desiring a sense of vitality beyond mere existence.
And it keeps me sane
Claiming that the emotional experience maintains mental stability.
But you need me to medicate
Being asked to medicate despite the positive impact of feeling.
Just to numb my brain
Expressing the need to numb the mind through medication.
While the world crumbles down around me
Amidst chaos, acknowledging reliance on a detached self.
Yeh this vacant shell is all I have
Emphasizing a vacant self as the only evidence of existence.
To Show that I'm even here
Highlighting the struggle to prove one's presence.
They told me to medicate
Reiteration of the directive to medicate.
Take your pills and eradicate
Repeating the instruction to take pills and eliminate feeling.
Any trace that you can feel
Emphasizing the removal of any trace of sensation.
Well I don't know how but I know I'll never back down
Expressing determination to face challenges without backing down.
It's about time that I crack down
Deciding to confront and address difficulties.
Gotta take what I have and stop now
Committing to making the most of the current situation.
So, nobody else can come around, and take down this fake town
Protecting oneself from external influences that may harm.
Oh no, I swear that I will not go
Declaring a refusal to succumb to negative influences.
Down with you when you go low
Commitment to not lowering oneself when faced with challenges.
So, this can't be all that it seems
Doubting the authenticity of the current situation.
Follow me, down
Inviting others to follow a path of determination.
Cos I don't wanna be, around
Expressing a desire to avoid negative situations.
And you can't possibly see
Doubting others' ability to understand one's struggles.
That is all I have left
Recognizing that only a sense of self remains.
So, I've got no time and know I'm going nowhere
Expressing a lack of time and a sense of aimlessness.
Just give me a chance and I'll go there
Requesting an opportunity to prove oneself if given a chance.
It's about time that I show there
Asserting the intention to showcase one's capabilities.
And I will not take anything for granted if you stay
Commitment to not take opportunities for granted.
Oh no, I swear that I will not go
Reiteration of the refusal to descend to low points with others.
Down with you when you go low
Commitment to maintaining integrity in challenging situations.
So, this can't be all that it seems
Doubting the genuineness of the current circumstances.
Follow me, down
Inviting others to follow a determined path.
Cos I don't wanna be, around
Expressing a desire to avoid negative environments.
And you can't possibly see
Doubting others' ability to comprehend one's struggles.
That is all I have left
Emphasizing that a sense of self is all that remains.
